For Financial Advisors
Morningstar satisfies the demands of advisors with equity research that delivers an independent perspective, consistent methodology, actionable insight, and brand-name recognition. Covering 1,800 stocks worldwide, Morningstar equity research reports act as a primary research source or complement research generated in-house or by other firms. Morningstar reports and ratings can also be integrated into a variety of delivery platforms, such as Morningstar® Advisor Workstation or third-party research aggregation services.
Stock coverage: Analyzing a world of data and information
Morningstar is one of the largest independent sources of stock analysis in the world. Morningstar's nearly 90 analysts cover companies across virtually all industries in 50 countries. Our research coverage includes 99% of the firms in the S&P 500 and 92% of the firms in the Russell 3000 by market capitalization. Basic company profiles are available for companies listed on the NASDAQ OMX exchanges, offering fundamental data and industry evaluations for stocks with limited coverage.
Honest analysis: Presenting perspectives investors can trust
Our approach delivers in-depth perspectives to advisors and investors who know Morningstar as a leading independent source for objective investment insight. Our analysts speak candidly about the companies they cover and provide analysis based on sound principles. Morningstar doesn’t participate in investment banking activities, which further reinforces our analysts’ objectivity.
Timely ratings: Surfacing buying opportunities
Every trading day Morningstar stock analysts update the Stock Analyst Notes for the companies they cover, as warranted by market events. And every trading day the forward-looking Morningstar Rating™ for stocks is re-calculated by comparing analysts’ Fair Value Estimates to each stock’s market price. The Morningstar Rating encourages investors to buy high-quality companies at discounts to their intrinsic values and hold them for the long term. The ratings quickly adapt to market fluctuations, helping steer investors toward undervalued opportunities and away from overvalued ones.
